Description
This egret hunted at an unhurried pace almost impossible to understand for the average first grader.
Here's what to look for with this bird: big, white, yellow bill. The only thing you might confuse it with around here is the Snowy Egret, which is smaller and has a black bill and yellow feet. Nice photo!
from the size, it appears to be as intermediate but the lores pale green suggest more towards Great egret. Even the black gape line extends behind eye. The yellow bill indicates it is in non-breeding stage.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)

No question here. This could be moved out of the ID Please section now.
